A vicar in Wrexham's found a 400-year-old Bible while he was clearing a cupboard at church.
Revd James Bray of St Giles found the First Edition King James Bible, which is thought to be worth thousands of pounds.
The Bible's believed to be one of only less than 200 still in existence.
It's missing a few pages, but can still be read as the words were printed on low-acid paper.
Mr Bray told the Daily Mail: "We didn't know it was a first edition, but we sent photographs to the National Library of Wales and they confirmed that it was... As far as we know [it] has always been here.
"We're keeping it safe at the moment, but we would like to have somewhere to display it."
